Simplicity guides the discovery and use of compositionality

Abstract excerpt

<p>Human cognition derives great power from compositionality, often formalized through probabilistic Languages of Thought. However, identifying useful compositional representations is computationally demanding, requiring search over vast, combinatorial hypothesis spaces. Simplicity biases are a key signature of human behaviour in such settings, however many forms of simplicity are unreasonably complex to compute....
